A VICTIM OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Violent Death of Lady at Hot Springs of
tho Dread Disease.


HoR SPRINGS, Ark, December 18---A deep
gloom was cast over this city by the death of
Mrs. John Loughran, wife Of Alderman and
Deputy Sheriff John Loughran, well known
and prominent citizen. The sad event is in
tensified in interest by the fact that death en-
sued from o pronounced attack of hydropho-
bia.
On the evening of October II last savage
dog, tied in Mr.. Loughrans yard, broke loose
and made an attack upon two little children
playing about the house. Mrs Loughran was
attracted by the cries, and ran to the rescue Of
her children Regardless of her own safety she
bravely seized the children, and attempted
to protect them from tho fury of the
dog but in her efforts the attack was changed
upon her, and she sustained severe bite on the
hand in consequence The occurrence created
much excitement at the time, especially as
tie dog ran amuck through the city biting
everything in reach until killed. The mayor
Immediately issued proclamation directing
the indiscriminate slaughter Of all dogs run
ming at large and nearly 200 dogs were subSe-
quently killed. Previous to the attack made
by the dog the animal had evinced rapid ten
denotes, and was accordingly chained up, in
apparent safety, but at the time many were
10th to credit the theory of rabies, and censur-
| ed the officer for entertaining an unnecessary
scare by the vigorous canine slaughter.
A maidstone was applied to Mrs. Loughran's
wound with apparent good effect, and no APP
prehension was felt Of a serious turn. On last
Friday night she became suddenly ill., but the
symptoms were not then alarming and the ill.,
disposition was deemed by the attending ply
sicians to he due to only an ordinary chill. But
the patient grew worse gradually, and incipi-
/ ent paroxysms occasoned byIfruitess attempts
to drink evidenced unmistakable hydTophobic
symptoms. The first night, however, the pa
tient contryed by almost suDerhuman effort
to swallow n small quantity of milk by means
Of q tube in the mouth and also by dipping the
fingers in the liquid and sucking them. The
consequent spasms grew SO severe that It was
found advisable to dcsist from continued
efforts TO make the sufferer drink.
Saturday heparoxysms continued with in
teryals of three and four hours Yesterday
the crisis came. The spasms became more
frequent and violent, and il was necessary to
hold the lady down. The duration Of The at
lacks was some five minutes each. In the in
term the patients mental condition was per-
fectly clear, and she talked freely, seeming to
realize her terrible fate. Yesterday she con-
yersed with her husband for an hour and the
scene was SO pathetic that it wrune many
strong hearts. Some OF the most eminent
physicians in the city were in constant attend
ance and exhausted every resource known TO
the materia medica to alleviate her suiierings.
The end came within forty-eight hours after
the lady was seized with the paroxysms.

A Swindling Negro Caught Up With in Nash
Vile.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 1S.--TSpecial.1
The police have arrested shrewd negro here,
who is wanted by the government and parties
in Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee for swindling ignorant people out
of small sums of money. He goes BY the name
of W. III. Washington, Dan Williams and Jim
Douglass, operating in Nashville under the
latter name. He is a gambler and general
fraud, but is wanted for personating federal
officer. His method was to hunt out widows
of soldiers, inform them that there was
large amount assigned them by the
pension office, pretend to give check,
collect two dollars or more for
alleged necessary expenses, and leave. The al
legged check sometimes for several hundred
dollars was usually filled with unmeaning
scratches. Here the negro claimed to be a son
and sometimes nephew of Fred Douglass.
The chief Of police of Wyandotte, Kansas, has
been telegraphing here for him. Washington
or Douglass or Williams came here in October
and reaped a rich harvest, going hence to Muir
freesboro and thence to Mississippi. A few
days ago he returned here, and was soon run
in. He will be examined by the federal au-
thorities here tomorrow. When searched he
had dozen or more Hoodoo bags on him, and
it appears he has also been filling the role of
a Hoodoo preacher and driving a good bust
ness selling Hoodoo bags at dollar and a half
apiece.

SELMA, Ala, December 1S.-A horrible
murder was committed here today. VIM. w.
Jordan, faith doctor, has been living in
Selma for the past twelve months, and has in
that time acquired great influence over the
negroes, whom he told that he had como TO
redeem the Jews. He arranged for passover
feast at the house of twonegro women in the
outskirts of the city this morning, and told
them that sacrifice was necessary. Frances
Driver said she was willing to offer herself as
sacrifice, and laid her head on the table.
Jordan thereupon took sword and struck her
several blows on the neck, and stabbed her a
number of times, killing her instantly.
The body was then dragged out into the
street by two other women. A white
woman witnessed the affair." and gave the
alarm. Police Officer Payne, after terrible
struggle, succeeded in overpowering Jordan,
and with the aid of several other officers, con-
veyed him to the city prison. Two negro men,
who were present at the feast, have also been
arrested. The negroes arc greatly excited
over the murder, and there are threats of
lynching, but the police have strong guard
at the city prison, and say that they will be
able to prevent mob violence. Chief of Police
Rosser says that Jordan is unquestionably
crazy. The murderer has brother living in
Shreveport, La.

SHALL THE CHELEREN BE
PROTECTED?

The statement made in yester-
days APPEAL regarding the wretches
who betray the innocence of child
hood has caused considerable COM
ment in this city. n
People look at it in three differ
ent ways. One class believes in
the existence of the evil, and are
willing to render any assistance in
having it stamped out.
Another class holds that the pub
LEGATION of such articles will injure
the city.
And some people deny IN toto
the existence of the state of affairs
described by the APPEAL.
In another column is cores
pondence from a gentleman who ac-
knowledges the existence of the
evil, but believes that the number
of children tempered with is placed
too high by the APPEAL. Granted,
for the sake of argument, that such
is the fact ;if any number of children,
or even one child, has been made
the victim of a scoundrers lusts,
any agitation that will clear the
city of the wretches who tamper
with childhood is desirable and
needed agitation.
The man who believes in cover
ing up these facts with view of
"not giving the city black eye,"
is pursuing a very foolish cause.
The idea of keeping perfectly quiet
while brutes in the disguise of men
are inveigling young children into
the training school of harlotry, is
proposition which no sane man
will harbor.
The officers of the city, the physi-
clans, and men whose business
takes them about town at night,
can soon convince the doubters that
there are scores of men in this city
who put in most of their time in
the pursuit of children. Forum
ately while the Grand Jury was in
session, one of these parties was
caught ssdead to rights" and in
dicted. If the proper evidence can
be secured, more of the same ilk
will be behind the bars also.
If there are numbers of people
who grope in darkness regarding
this revolving state of affairs, it is
time that their eyes were opened.
The APPEAL calls on all good citi-
zens to lend such assistance as they
are able in this matter, and spot
those who are hampering the effort
to rid Carson of an undesirable
class of population.
